When it comes to subsurface utility engineering and risk management, theoretical knowledge isn’t enough. You need actionable insights from leaders who have spent decades navigating complex infrastructure projects, drafting industry standards, and protecting the public welfare.
That is exactly who will be leading the 30th ASCE UESI/BAMI-I Utility Investigation School (UIS) this December 14–17 in Denver, Colorado.
To ensure our attendees receive the highest caliber of instruction, BAMI-I and UESI have assembled a powerhouse team of presenters with unparalleled experience in utility coordination, ASCE 38-22 implementation, and right-of-way management.
Here are the industry heavyweights you will learn from in Denver:
